Fair questions
- What time was the World Cup 2026 final?
- The World Cup 2026 final kicked off at 3 pm Eastern on Sunday, July 19, 2026 at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, which is 19:00 UTC, 12 noon on the US West Coast, 8 pm in the UK, and 9 pm in Spain. Spain beat Argentina 1-0 after extra time. Pick the final from the match menu above to see that kickoff in your own time zone.
- What time was the World Cup 2026 third-place match?
- The third-place play-off, France vs England, kicked off at 5 pm Eastern on Saturday, July 18, 2026 at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, which is 21:00 UTC. England won 6-4. It sits in the match picker above, ready to convert to your own time zone.
- What time zone is the World Cup 2026 schedule published in?
- Matches kicked off in the stadium's local time, and the 16 venues span four time zones: Eastern, Central, and Pacific time in the US and Canada, plus central Mexico time. This converter stores every kickoff in UTC and translates it to whatever zone you choose.
- How does the converter know my time zone?
- It reads the time zone your device's clock is already set to, using the browser's built-in Intl API. There is no location permission, no GPS, and nothing is sent to a server. The conversion happens entirely on your phone or computer.
- Which time zones did the host cities use during the tournament?
- In June–July 2026: Toronto, New York/New Jersey, Philadelphia, Boston, Atlanta, and Miami were on Eastern time (UTC−4). Dallas, Houston, and Kansas City were on Central time (UTC−5). Vancouver, Seattle, the Bay Area, and Los Angeles were on Pacific time (UTC−7). Mexico City, Guadalajara, and Monterrey were on central Mexico time (UTC−6, no daylight saving).
- When were the World Cup 2026 Round of 32 matches?
- The 16 Round of 32 ties ran from June 28 to July 3, 2026, right after the group stage. They are already in the match picker at the top of this page, so you can convert any of them, from South Africa vs Canada on June 28 to Argentina vs Cape Verde on July 3, into your own time zone.
- When were the World Cup 2026 Round of 16 matches?
- The eight Round of 16 ties ran from July 4 to July 7, 2026, straight after the Round of 32. They are in the match picker at the top of this page too, from Canada vs Morocco in Houston on July 4 to Switzerland vs Colombia in Vancouver on July 7, ready to convert into your own time zone.
- Why does a match show a different date than my TV listing?
- Late kickoffs cross a calendar day between time zones. Mexico vs England in the Round of 16 kicked off at 00:00 UTC on July 6, which is 6 pm on July 5 at Estadio Azteca and 8 pm Eastern on July 5 in US listings. This page dates every match by the time zone you pick, and the stadium column names the venue's own date whenever it differs.
- Why do some kickoffs land after midnight for me?
- All 16 stadiums are in the Americas, so viewers in Europe, Africa, and Asia watch late: a 7 pm Eastern kickoff is already midnight in London, 1 am in Paris, and 8 am in Tokyo the next morning. Evening matches in the western US run latest of all.
- Is the World Cup 2026 schedule on this page final?
- Yes. The tournament ended on July 19, 2026, so every kickoff on this page is the final, verified schedule. The converter still translates any of the 104 kickoffs into any time zone you choose.
You know when it kicked off. Now let fate replay it.
